Gryphon Essence Preamp

With the Essence series, the Gryphon has created a preamp and power amplifier a remarkable musicality, modest size, and reasonable price. When I first decided to bring in The Essence amplifiers , I had forgotten what a modestly powered pure class a amplifier could do with the music. In this case the answer is simply wow!

Interestingly what became rapidly apparent was that to get the best out of It’s performance you really needed to connect it to its own preamplifier. So in some ways, I think of the Essence Pre/Power As integrated amplifier in two parts. Just stunningly musical!

GRYPHON EOS2 SPEAKERS

Gryphon’s new EOS-series is the brainchild of Gryphon Industrial Designer Soren Slebo & Benno Baun Meldgaard, Gryphon’s Chief Loudspeaker Designer. Former Head of Design for Gamut, Mr. Meldgaard is one of High-End Audio’s great young talents and his work for EOS delivers innovative solutions to achieving big speaker sound in small rooms. First among these is EOS’ unique “Stealth” enclosure, whose purpose-engineered front baffle enables the drivers to yield smooth dispersion and uniform energy output, as well as a more stable and dimensional soundstage.

EOS’ Stealth exterior has been sculpted to function as an efficient diffusor of standing waves—a great advantage in small spaces—while the interior has been critically shaped to eliminate standing waves and cabinet resonances. Gryphon’s proprietary “Line porting” technology, a new way of directing the back wave of the mid-woofer towards the ports, ensures a perfect path for the low frequencies to exit the enclosure while providing efficient damping of frequencies above the 60-80 Hz region. The result is shockingly fast and clean bass reproduction, free of distracting upper-frequency artifacts. Benno’s mandate to maximize room compatibility and placement flexibility yielded two additional design flourishes: EOS can be either front- or rear-ported by means of removable port plugs, while a three-position phase switch ensures ideal response at the listening position. Taken together, these two features enable unmatched versatility in speaker placement.

Although EOS 2 is Gryphon’s most accessible loudspeaker, it offers uncompromising parts and build quality. Our proprietary woofer features a Thin-ply Carbon Fiber cone manufactured to our specifications by the world’s leading fabricator of Formula 1 components. EOS’ tweeter—also proprietary—uses a large (34mm) Beryllium dome and resonance-free rear enclosure for enhanced dynamics and low-end response. Hand-assembled from the finest components, our PCS (Progressive Curved Slope) crossover maximizes power handling and ensures a seamless transition between drivers. Featuring 91 dB efficiency and 4 Ohm minimum impedance, EOS 2 presents an easy load for virtually all high-quality power amplifiers.
